The Off-Broadway production of the long-running slapstick comedy The Play That Goes Wrong<\/a>\u00a0says goodbye to Trevor Braun<\/a> September 3 at New World Stages.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Braun, who has played over 1,500 performances as Dennis\u00a0in the international hit, will be succeeded by Adam Langdon beginning September 14. During the interim period,\u00a0Blair Baker<\/a> and Brandon Haagenson will alternate as\u00a0Dennis.<\/p>\n

Langdon previously played\u00a0Christopher in the North American tour of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, earning a Helen Hayes Award nomination for his performance. Off-Broadway he has performed in Titus Andronicus, The New Englanders,\u00a0and\u00a0Timon of Athens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now in its ninth year in\u00a0New York, the cast also currently features\u00a0Joanie Anderson as Annie, Kolby Kindle<\/a> as Trevor, David McElwee as Chris, Samuel Douglas as Max, Greg Balla as Jonathan, Brent Bateman as Robert, Liana Hunt<\/a> as Sandra, and understudies Blair Baker, Laura D\u2019Andre, Brandon Haagenson, and Jemma Jane. <\/p>\n

Co-created by Mischief company members Henry Lewis<\/a>, Jonathan Sayer<\/a>, and Henry Shields<\/a>, The Play That Goes Wrong
\n invites audiences to the Cornley University Drama Society as they
\nperform… or at least attempt to perform… a 1920s murder mystery,
\nonly for every live theatre snafu possible to befall the beleaguered
\ncast. <\/p>\n

Directed by Mark Bell, the production premiered in London in 2012,
\neventually moving to the West End and winning an Olivier for Best New
\nComedy. A Broadway transfer opened in 2017, and moved to its current
\nOff-Broadway home in 2019.<\/p>\n

The production features set design by Nigel Hook, costume design by
\nRoberto Surace, lighting design by Jeremy Cunningham<\/a>, and sound design by Beth Lake<\/a>. Matt DiCarlo is the current director.<\/p>\n

The original Broadway production was directed by Bell and featured lighting design by Ric Mountjoy and sound design by Andrew Johnson. <\/p>\n
